Descripción
Sumario:In her vibrant screen performance as Sister Benedict in The Bells of St. Mary's, Ingrid Bergman represented the film nun as a mature modern woman who had chosen the religious life with a "complete understanding" of both erotic and spiritual desire. How did this engaging character and her cinematic sisters in later postwar popular film come to be stereotyped as girlish, incomplete, or unimportant characters? This book explores this question through a study of nun films over a sixty year period, beginning with the 1945 film The Bells of St. Mary's and concluding in 2008 with Doubt.
